already begun to make their appearance,
and accessions to the parish are reported
at every meeting. Add to this that all
the old faces are to be seen in the new
surroundings, and we have hopeful out
look.
Church of Our Father.-On Sunday
two persons were received into the full
fellowship of the church.-Monday even
ing Prof. W. W. Carnes, the elocutionist,
assisted by other talent, gave very
fine entertainment in the church. The
interesting program held the attention of
the entire audience for nearly two hours.
Prof. Carnes and his family are thor
ough Universalists, and manifest their
interest in the Church of Our Father by
giving this entertainment for the benefit
of the church. The people appreciate
his kindness and that Of his assistants,
and advise our people in the city and
vicinity to listen to one of his programs.
He ought to be kept busy by our people.

parish gave in their church cordial greet
ing to their pastor, Rev. l.. j. Dinsmore,
and their s. s. Superintendent, Mrs. l.. J.

fair. 1t was spontaneous greeting OF

their entrance upon their fourth year of
work in Columbus. The attendance was
fine, the tables we're loaded with both the

by Miss Woodland -Auber Forrester~s

Rev. DIR. Stafford has completed his

THURSDAY EVENING.

At 8 o'clock, notwithstanding the rain
storm, another large congregation assem-
bled in the Fifth Avenue church to listen
to the addresses of the evening. The
President, DR.. Sweetser, was in the chair;
and the opening exercises were conducted
by Rev. E. A. Perry, of New York, and
Rev Dr.. Hanson, the first reading the
Scriptures and the latter offering the
prayer. The choir gave selections and a
hymn was sung. The speakers of the
evening were Rev. Henry W. Rugg, Of
Rhode Island; Rev. j. nj. Pullman, ID. D.,
and Rev. A. A. Miner, d. d., of Massschu-
sets. The general subject of the evening
was Mission" considered by the sew
eral speakers in the order named,
as follows: 1" The Nerve of Missions,
"Home Missions or Church Extension, 4"
and Mission Work, Involving the
Essential Christian Life" As our read
ers may infer from the well,known
ability OF the speakers, it was a notable
occasion. Rev. Mr.. Riggs address was
clear and well conceived, and set forth
the true nerve Of missions as found in
the love of God and the spirit engendered
in the heart that is filed with gospel
love. DR.. Pullman's address was we'll

There were unique services at Saugus,
Mass, on Thursday, Oct. 6. The duty
and the privilege of commemorating
the one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary of the parish fell to people whose
UNCONVENTIONAL history goes back one
hundred and seventeen years, and whose
history as a Universalist parish is just
half century. In other words, the
parish has an unbroken history of a
century and half. Itbegan as Ortho-
dox- Congregational. But after a CEN
fury of experience it voted itself Uni
versalist. The occasion has in it three
distinct parts: A town history, an Or
thodox- Congregational history, and a
Universalist history. The service of
commemoration wisely considered the
situation. The secular history was
given by near neighbor, Mr.. B. N.
Johnson, of Lynn; Orthodox Congre-
gationalists were represented by Rev.
DIR. J. D. Duryea, of Boston and the
Universalists by Rev. Messrs. Biddle,
Skinner and Pullman.
Rev. DIR. Biddle was for many years
a near neighbor of the parish. His ad-
dress, according to the program, was
retrospective. He reviewed the theo-
logical and ecclesiastical past, and
showed that the present Is the flower
ing of seeds sown in the early days.
Rev. Mr.. Skinner, for a period of
years pastor of the parish, gave very
curious characteristics of the time when
the parish was organized, and led up,
by orderly and conservative unfolding,
to the present.
Mr.. Johnson's address was at the
first sketch of the colonial period
but the bulk of it was history of the
parish.
Rev. DIR. Duryea was in profound
sympathy with the weird occasion. He
was just and discriminating in treating
Of the movements which developed into
the Universalist status. He fully as
sented to the doctrine that souls may
at any time be saved simply hest
tated in view of the possible refusal of
sinners to embrace the opportunity.
The church was very handsomely
decorated with flowers and autumn
leaves. On bank of green in front of
the pulpit was a cross and anchor in
asters. There were palms and potted
plants, and in the back of the pulpit,
the dates 1887, 1887, 1887. Rev. Irving
Tomlinson is the pastor.

AN orthodox contemporary of the. Lon
don Christian Life, says: THE Lambs
Book of Life" is, in respect to sinners re-
deemed by the blood OF Christ, the regis
try of Heaven. Their names are written
therein. When they stand before Him
in the final day, He will say to them:
"Come, ye blessed OF my Father, inherit
the Kingdom prepared for You from the
foundation of the world" If the good
fellow, adds the editor, who wrote this
sentence examines the place Matt XIV
where these words occur, he will find
nothing about the blood OF Christ.

friends Of our cause here, feel that the
Cincinnati parish, with it's sixty years of
history, and its stratagetic position must
not be allowed to die. At whatever cost
of labor and sacrifice, it must be restored
to its old-time prosperity.
Last July the members Of the first par
ish, residing in Walnut Hills, met and de-
cided to secure place where services
could be held in this large and rapidly
growing part of the city, aptly called "the
new Cincinnati" AS result of their eff

A New Departure
has been made. The recently vacated
church edifice upon Mcmillan street,
near Gilbert avenue, has been rented, and
is now being put in order. 1t is a Gothic
structure of brick and stone, and has
considerable plot of land on either side.
Besides the auditorium, there are three
good sized rooms, which will prove use
full for Sunday-school and social pur-
poses. The location, near the junction of
the horse-car and cable lines, is very GEN.
trail. When finished, the exterior and in
terror will present an attractive appear
ance. Probably the proposed improve
ments will cost $1,000 or more. Nine
persons have subscribed 1880 Of this
amount, and it is believed that the re-
naming sum needed can be easily Sc
cured. Beside these generous subscrip-
tions, the same people give largely for the
support of the Plum street church. AS
usual, the regular Sunday morning SER
vices will be held in the lower city, and
early in November, evening lectures will
be given in the Mcmillan street church.
Both churches are under the name and
direction of the First Universalist parish.
We are confident that this new move
ment marks the dawn of new and bet
ter era for our cause in Cincinnati.

several valuable restatements of the Uni

IL. The plan, adopted by the Board OF
concentrating efforts at Church extension
upon commanding points that give promise,
not merely of speedy self-sustenance, but OF
developing into centres of evangelizing in

meets our hearty endorsement. 1t is pol

stable and growing and exemplary results,
